1. INTRODUCTION

The AdvancedNeutronSource (ANS) is a new researchreactorfacilitybeing developed by


Oak RidgeNationalLaboratory(ORNL) to meet the nationalneed for an intense steady-state
. sourceof neutronsfor scientificexperiments.The ANS facilitywill include;a new nuclearfission
researchreactorof unprecedentedflux that will providethe most intense _teady-statebeamsof
. neutronsin the world.The core of the reactoris composedof parallelaluminum-claddedfuel
2

plates in an involute geometry. The high heat fluxes generated in the reactor [303 MW(t) with an
average power density of 4.5 MW/L] will be accommodated by a flow of heavy water through the
core at very high velocities. In support of the Advanced Neutron Source Reactor (ANSR), several
test facilities have been built that will simulate the conditions expected in the reactor core. Many
of the thermal-hydraulic (T/H) correlations involved in the ANSR design can be derived,
modified, or verified using data from these facilities.
In support of this experimental and analytical effort, it was essential to develop a reliable,
highly accurate, and uniform source of thermodynamicand transport properties, especially for
saturated fight and heavy water to be used consistently throughout the project. After surveying
the literature and realizing the heavy dependance upon computer programs for ANS calculations,
it was concluded that analytical expressions (correlations) rather than tabulated values would be
most useful. In order to attain high accuracy in the correlations, the range of these correlations
was limited to the proposed ANSR's nominal operating conditions. The temperature and
corresponding saturation pressure ranges used for light water were 20-300°C and 0.0025-8.5
MPa, respectively. For heavy water, the temperature and corresponding saturation pressure ranges
were 50-250°C and 0.012-3.9 MPa, respectively. A goal was established to limit the maximum
deviation in the correlations (compared with their relative original sources) to 3.0%. In practice,
however, a higher accuracywas achieved while using a single correlation for the entire range of
each property. Deviations did not exceed 1.0%, except for fight water vapor density, for which the
error was 1.76%.

To ensure the reliability of the physical property correlations, only weil-established sources
were used. To avoid variations in the International System of Units (SI) conversions, only data
originally tabulated in SI units were used in the correlation development. Light water physical
property correlations were partly based on data taken from the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME) 1steam tables. Where ASME did not provide physical properties in SI units,
Keenan et al.2 steam tables were used instead. Heavy t, ater physical property correlations were
based on Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) 3 tables, with the exception of surface
tension. The surface tension correlation was based on data from Vargaftik et al.4 It is worth
noting that Kaizerman, Washolder, and Tomerians developed a functional representation of heavy
water properties based on Soviet data that made use of heavy to fight water property ratios. It
3

was decided not to rely on such property ratios in this work but rather develop correlations based
. directly on the indicated tabulated values.
In the development of the physical property correlations, two software codes were used.
. TableCurve (Jandel Scientific, Corte Madera, California) was used primarilyfor determining a
best fit equation for each property. SAS (SAS Institute, Inc., Cary, North Carolina) was used to
fine tune the correlations and calculate the maximum deviations. These correlations were

incorporated into SAS codes for determining physical property data for both light and heavy
water. Since many people are not familiar with SAS, FORTRAN subroutines of these correlations
were also developed that can be easily appended to other calculational programs requiring
physical property data. To eliminate the need for time-consuming data searches, interpolations,
and unit conversions, an easy-to-use interactive program combining light and heavy water
correlations was developed. QuikProp was written in QuickBASIC (Microsoft Corporation,
Redmond, Washington) but is a stand-alone executable file, thus, its use does not require
compilation or the availabilityof QuickBASIC.
Although this effort was conducted in support of the ANS project, it is believed that the
physical property correlations and the corresponding computer programs documented in this
report are also useful to a broader audience. Some limitations in the correlations do exist,
however, and further improvements can be made, as recommended in Sect. 6.
2.CORREI_TION DEVEIX)PMENT

i In the development of the physical property correlations, several data sources were
investigated to determine their reliability.The data sources and ranges selected as well as any
difficulties or constraints involved in the development of the physical property correlations are
discussed in this section. Explanations concerning any reservations regarding confidence levels or
source selections are also included in this section.

2.1 LIGHT WATER CORRELATION DEVEIL)PMENT

The light water physical property correlations are applicable over a temperature range of
20-300°C and a corresponding saturated pressure range of 0.0025-8.5 MPa. These light water
physical property correlations are partly based on data taken from the ASME 1 steam tables. The
surface tension correlation is an exact formulation as recommended by ASME. Where ASME did
not provide physical properties in SI units, Keenan et ai.2 steam tables were used. Each
correlation, its respective source, and maximumdeviation from the data are further documented
in Sect. 30The light water physical property correlations developed deviate no more than 0.7%
when compared with tabulated values of their respective sources, with the exception of saturated
vapor density, which deviates 1.76%.
Most light water physical property correlations were developed using the exact tabulated
values with no unit conversions, extrapolations, or interpolations. The development of the liquid
dynamic viscosity correlation, however, did require some manipulation. The ASME values are not
tabulated for saturated conditions but rather as a function of both temperature and pressure. Of
these values, only nine were within the applicable range of the correlation. In order to determine
the liquid dynamic viscosity at saturation conditions, two successive viscosity values at a given
temperature were used to extrapolate back to the saturation pressure conditions corresponding to
that temperature.
The light water physical property correlations incorporated ali data available from their
respective sources over the applicable range. With the exception of liquid dynamic viscosity,
ASME values are tabulated in ten-degree intervals, while Keenan et al.2 values are in five-degree
' intervals. Consequently, the correlations using Keenan et al.2 data result in slightly higher
statistical confidence levels.
6

Although an exact formulation as recommended by ASME is used as the surface tension


correlation, an attempt was made to reduce the maximumdeviation by determining new constants.
New constants were determined by narrowing the original range of the correlation to that of the
applicable range. Although a maximumdeviation of 0.3% was attained using the new constants as
opposed to 0.5% using the original, this improvement was not considered appreciable, and the
original constants were retained.

2.2 HEAVY WATER CORRELATION DEVELg)PMENT

The heavy water physical property correlations are applicable over a temperature range of
50-250°C and a corresponding saturated pressure range of 0.012-3.9 MPa. These heavy water
physical property correlations were based entirely on data taken from the Atomic Energy of
Canada Limited (AECL), 3 with the exception of surface tension. The surface tension correlation
is an exact formulation taken from Vargaftik et al.4 Each correlation, its respective source, and
maximum deviation from the data is further documented in Sect. 3. The heavy water physical
property correlations developed deviate no more than 1.0% when compared with the tabulated
values of their respective sources.
With the exceptions of liquid thermal conductivity, liquid dynamic viscosity, and surface
tension, ali of the heavy water physical property correlations were developed using the exact
tabulated values as given in the AECL tables, with no unit conversions, extrapolations, or
interpolations. The liquid thermal conductivity values found in the AECL source are not tabulated
for saturated conditions but rather as a function of both temperature and pressure. Of these
values, only six were within the applicable range of the correlation. In order to determine the
liquid thermal conductivity at saturation conditions, two successive conductivity values at a given
temperature were used to extrapolate back to the saturation pressure conditions corresponding to
that temperature.
In the development of the heavy water liquid dynamic viscosity correlation, it was
discovered that the AECL tables did not include values for dynamic viscosity but instead provided
two kinematic viscosity tables.6 In the absence of dynamic viscosity tables, it was first necessary to
determine the saturated kinematic viscosity and then convert to dynamic viscosity by multiplying
by the corresponding density. As with liquid thermal conductivity, the liquid kinematic viscosity
values are not tabulated for saturated conditions but rather as a function of both temperature and
pressure. Of these values, only six were within the applicable range of the correlation. In order to
7

obtain the saturated liquid kinematic viscosity at saturation conditions, two successive kinematic

. viscosity values at a given temperature were used to extrapolate back to the saturation pressure
conditions corresponding to that temperature. Once the saturated liquid kinematic viscosity values

. were obtained, interpolation was required to determine the saturated liquid density for the
corresponding saturation temperature. The saturated liquid kinematic viscosity values were then

multiplied by their corresponding saturated liquid density values to obtain the saturated liquid

dynamic viscosity. To confirm that ali of these manipulations were performed correctly, the
resulting saturated liquid dynamic viscosity values were compared with values provided by Heiks et
al.7 This comparison showed good agreement within a maximum deviation of 3.0%.

With the exception of surface tension, the heavy water physical property correlations

incorporated ali of the available AECL data in the applicable range. In most cases, the physical
property correlations are based on property values that are tabulated in five-degree intervals. As a
result, these correlations often yield statistically higher confidence levels. As previously mentioned,

however, the liquid thermal conductivity and liquid dynamic viscosity correlations were based on

only six values that were within the applicable range. Although these correlations yield a lower
confidence level, this lower level does not reflect badly on the correlations' performance since the
data trends are smooth.
3. ANAL_JtNCAL CO__TIONS

L
In the following pages, the actual light and heavy water ph_ical property correlations are
presented. Although most of the property values are in SI units, it proved to be more convenient
to use megapascals and kilojoules instead of the formal SI units of Pascals and joules. The
correlations' max/mum deviations from the data and their respective sources are listed in Table 1
at the end of this chapter. In order to attain the accuracy as stated in Table 1, the coefficients
must be applied exactly as they appear. Any alteration, including truncation, of the coefficients
will cause a noticeable change in the accuracy of the resulting property values.
Although the physical property correlations for saturated heavy water were originally
developed for a 50-250°C temperature range, we have also examined the correlations'
performance over an extended range. The correlations were checked both at 45 ° and 35°C. A
five-degree extension of the temperature range resulted in minor error increases. In some cases,
the error at 45 °C was lower than the maximum deviation in the original range. The extension of
the correlations to 35°C resulted in slight error increases.
Errors were not reported at either temperature for saturated heavy water thermal
conductivity and dynamic viscosity because these properties were already valid for temperatures as
low as 26.84°C. Errors for saturated liquid specific heat were not reported because there were no
data for saturated specific heat below 47.93°C in the AECL3 data. Although one would not
expect a major increase in the error of saturated liquid specific heat at 45°C, it is not known
whether the error at 35°C would be small. Where data were available, the maximum deviations
were 0.33 and 1.68% at 45 and 35°C, respectively.

4. PHYSICAL PROPERTY COMPUTER CODES

The physical property correlations were incorporated in three different codes using three
different programming languages. The most extensive code was an interactive properties software
package that was developed using QuickBASIC. The most versatile code was a pair of
FORTRAN subroutines that can be easily appended to any FORTRAN code. The correlations
were also organized in a third code providing SAS users a means of determining physical property
data.

4.1 QInKPROP

A convenient, quick, and easy to use interactive properties software package was developed
using the physical property correlations. Although written in QuickBASIC, QuikProp is a stand-
alone executable code and does not require QuickBASIC for execution. The correlations used in
the code are exactly as they appear in SecL 3. The program can accept both temperatures and
pressures in either British or SI units. No preinstruction is necessary because the user is guided
through the program. It was our intent for this program to provide the user with a "quick" source
of physical properties, thus alleviating the need for time consuming interpolations and unit
conversions.

4.2 FORTRAN SUBRO_

FORTRAN subroutines have been developed that can be easily incorporated in existing
FORTRAN codes. Usually this requires no more than the addition of a call statement in the
original code. As with the interactive properties package, ali correlations used in the subroutines
are exactly as they appear in Sect. 3. The subroutines calculate physical properties and pass them
to the main program as double-precision values. As a word of caution, the subroutines often
provide inaccurate values if a double-precision input value is not passed to the subroutine. If
single-precision values are desired, the variable declarations statement in the physical property
subroutines must be changed accordingly.

4.3 _ PROGRAMS

Unlike FORTRAN, SAS is not a very common programming language. SAS, however, was
used in the development of the physical property correlations, and as a result, the first physical
property codes were written in SAS. As with ali the other physical property codes, the
correlations used in their development are exactly as they appear in Sect. 3. The initial point, final
point, and interval are defined at the top of the code using macro var/ables. The properties are
then calculated, and the results are displayed in the output window in a tabula_• format.
The authors will be glad to provide a copy of these codes upon request. If you are
interested, please contact Allen Crabtree [(615) 576-5298] or Moshe Siman-Tov [(615) 574-6515].
5. PHYSICAL PROPERTY TABLF_ AND GRAPHS

The tables and graphs in this section are provided as an additional description of the
correlations and their performance. Table 2 is followed by Figs. 1-10 for selected saturated light
water properties, while Table 3 is followed by Figs. 11-20 for selected saturated heavy water
properties. The tables are sample outputs from the property codes described in SecL 4 and are
not suggested for uses other than point calculations or comparisons. As a visual representation of
the physical property correlations, the graphs reflect any trends that the properties may have as a
function of temperature. The computer codes described in Sect. 4 are highly recommended for
any additional computations and are readily available from the authors. If these codes are not
adequate for a particular application and the user wishes to incorporate the correlations himself,
the sample output results will serve as an excellent means of checking accuracy.

The physicalpropertycorrelationsprovidedin thisdocumentare for saturated


conditionsonly,but subcooledconditionswill exist in the ANSR. Althoughsubcooled
conditionsare nominal,local superheatedconditionsare also possible.As a result,the
most prominentrecommendationfor futurework is to determinethe errorassociatedwith
the use of these correlationsin calculatingpropertiesat subcooledandsuperheated
conditions.The error is not expectedto be largesince mostof the physicalproperties do
not have a strongdependanceon pressure.If the resultingerroris considered
unacceptable,however,additionalcorrelationswill be necessary.
The correlationrangewasoriginallydesignedto coverANSR nominaloperating
conditions.A need to broadenthis rangemayariseas moresafetyanalysesare performed.
Manyaccidentanalyses,for example,wouldrequirecorrelationrangescomprisingcertain
off-nominaloperatingconditions.It maybe difficult,however,to maintain the same level
of accuracyin a single correlationif the rangeis much broader.
It is encouragingto knowthat the interactiveprogram,QuikProp,is actuallybeing
used and gainingpopularitywithinthe ANS project.As a result,it has been recommended
that a Macintoshversionof QuikPropbe developed.Althoughthe current version of
QuikPropcan run underWindowsas a DOS application,a mouse-drivenWindowsversion
is desirable.
